Thy Sword

If I were to allow my pen to be thy sword,
things of what kind might I slay?
What man's blood would flow no more-
or would his soul just perish that day?

Be it not true of valiance by thy pen?
Hast not the thy pen only good therein?
I ask only to find for it a true a meaning.
The power of such sword shant be abused
or valiance is theiving.

Ahh...I see now of the demon's face.
Be he an empty heart, desperate for life,
or one of such so crowded
by faces of creative emotion
that he must release or surely burst...
my pen shall make fulfilment of the pain whichever.

Powerfully written Jeremy! The pen is indeed mightier than the sword, and we must be cautious with the words we write. Excellent expression!  

Best wishes,

Jeremy,
Impressive writing, once again. Your word usage and vocabulery are increasingly improving, yet you still complain about how you write. Shutup already!!

A thought go unheard,
Let not one heart be broken
Dream of a perfect world.

No one understands the power of words as well as a writer. You have reminded us of the power our "tools" possess. This is a great piece. Keep it up!  

False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the diffrence.
